3.7.5-201.fc18.x86_64 (booted from EFI on a MacBookPro 8,3).

That one was a traditional install. I've just now tested an EFI install
of Fedora 17, which also reboots fine; both from grub and the installed
kernel. It *doesn't* seem to hit the SeaBIOS CSM on the way back, but
reboots directly into OVMF.

I have two versions of qemu; the Fedora 18 one (1.2.0) and a
locally-rebuilt copy of the Fedora rawhide 1.3.0, which I installed
because OVMF's native video driver doesn't work in 1.2.0. Not that that
matters any more since I've disabled that and I'm using the VGA BIOS.

There's also a current build from qemu git. They all behave the same
way, both with and without KVM.

This shouldn't make a difference. For the old vgabios, I only have the
alignment fix, and no video would work if you didn't have that.
